Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating today!! It is
a day of gratitude and do you know what I am most grateful for at this moment - the fact that my husband does
all of the Thanksgiving cooking!!
My card of Thanksgiving includes a wonderful sentiment - one that I most definitely could do a better job of living by.
A week or so ago, I mentioned my husband's leftover turkey soup and that I liked it better than the actual Thanksgiving. It's also the reason that we rarely accept invitations to other's Thanksgiving meals - we wouldn't have the leftovers for the soup! And I am going to share it here. There's really nothing fancy about it - it's mostly just dumping in everything you have left over!
Leftover Turkey Soup
1 leftover turkey carcass2 bay leaves1 pinch marjoram1 pinch thyme1 pinch basil2 Tblsp butter3 Tblsp flour1/4 cup rice1/2 cup chopped celery1/2 cup chopped onion2 cups fresh mushrooms1 handful thin or medium egg noodles1/2 cup chopped parsley3 Tblsp sherryLeftover gravy, stuffing, potatoes, vegetables, cranberries, etc.Chicken stock
Take all meat off the bone and set meat aside. Cover with water, add spices, salt and pepper and simmer slowly for 3-4 hours. Remove bones and strain for stock.
Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in stock. (It should be 1 1/2 to 2 quarts, if not, add chicken stock). Bring to a boil.
Add rice, celery, onion and a handful of noodles. Simmer 25-30 minutes. Saute mushrooms. Add to soup with diced turkey meat, all leftovers, and parsley. At serving time, add sherry.
Enjoy!
